Bear in mind though that although white rice is advocated here it's still mostly empty calories. But if you are active, healthy and you like it you can have it. I get it several times a week - the japanese variety.

Brown rice causes psoriasis for me (and possibly receding gums). I had a more obvious reaction to brown rice than to gluten.

INTERESTING... I never heard of this, before. *puts this bullet into magazine for the argument gun* thanks

There are some Japanese brands I like, because they actually have flavoring! I think Nishiki is one of them.

I like basmati rice, and red rice. Red rice has a very different, nutty flavor that I really enjoy, and a small amount in basmati rice turns it an amazing purple. Plain white rice, meh. Japanese rice, really enjoy that too.

I find I'm ok on rice once or twice a week, but more than that, my fibro kicks up.

Brown rice falls under the whole grain umbrella so it's usually promoted as being healthier. There have been a couple of studies comparing the two, but there is no real evidence for which one is better. I've seem some sources say white rice is bad because it has a higher GI than brown, but there is a whole range of GI values for different types of rice, and some varieties of white rice actually have lower GIs.
